3. Al-Farouq Aminu

The Golden State Warriors know they need to add more wing players to their roster. This is their weakest position in terms of depth and Andrew Wiggins stands alone as their only reliable option.

Al-Farouq Aminu is a no-brainer for the Dubs. He has been in the league for 10 years and can offer the veteran presence the Warriors are looking for. Furthermore, he is capable of playing multiple positions and can defend the perimeter at a solid rate.

Aminu is fresh off of a torn meniscus that could be a reason for concern. Most of his game is built off of athleticism but he can still make an impact with his size and strength. Before the injury, Aminu was averaging 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 points per game.

His role in Golden State would be minimal. He would likely play most of his minutes at the three behind Wiggins but he is also capable of playing in small-ball lineups as a power forward. This additional versatility and depth is something the Dubs could benefit from next season.
